Never forget Hori said chapter 11 was where he decided to keep Katsuki around Izuku and not have him develop separately and this is the exact same chapter where Denki asks Ochako out, she blows him off for Izuku but Izuku blows HER off for Katsuki who actually does wait for him! Hori told us his plan THAT long ago.
For clarification…Hori said he planned to have Katsuki develop as a separate vector from Izuku but this chapter and him crying in front of Izuku made him realise some things and change his mind. And now we have even dudebros calling Kacchan a love interest cause of how intertwined he is with Izuku.
It makes sense if you think Heroes rising was supposed to be the original ending. If at the start he planned to keep Katsuki away from Izuku and only have him accept Izuku and his hand at the very end and imply something between them but then he realised he should and CAN go much further.
So he discarded the original ending in a movie and developed bkdk MUCH more in the manga. He already had Katsuki accept Izuku a long time ago and now Izuku is the one suppressing his feelings and running away for reasons unknown to all of us because he has been hiding it. Their platonic relationship was already concluded and yet, Hori keeps taking it SOMEWHERE.
There’s nowhere platonic wise to go and yet, the buildup is happen in. Bkdk will not be implied or open. It makes no sense for it to be implied after everything. Hori already discarded the implication in Heroes rising because he’s gonna go all the way with them in the manga.
There’s a way to write an implied relationship and bkdk ain’t it. He’s gone way too far now and unless he spells them out, we’ll have plot holes and it will feel awkward. Because “control your heart” storyline is what’s locking canon bkdk in place. Hori literally cornered himself with it. Now if it only happened once, in chapter 210 and never again, it would be a cute implication. But it was turned into an ongoing storyline and it keeps happening without being addressed. Because Izuku keeps shoving it under the rug and that’s NOT a solution.
That’s a storyline that’s been ongoing since 2018. It has to be fully spelled out, addressed and explained and if it’s spelled out, so will bkdk be. It will HAVE to be cause there’s no other way to explain why this is happening except to spell out Izuku’s feelings.
I’ve spoken before about this but Katsuki’s the reason this keeps happening and he hasn’t witnessed it yet. This only makes sense if he’s supposed to eventually witness it cause Hori deliberately took him out of every scene Izuku lost control of his heart because of HIM. It means that he’s the solution. He’s gonna witness it in the end and put a permanent stop to this. How will he do it? Process of elimination.
Now he’s done all actions.. chased Izuku down, almost died for him, sacrificed so much for him.. and it didn’t help Izuku’s problem. Cause chapter 348 narration tells us that unless the feelings are spelled out IN WORDS, Izuku doesn’t recognise them, it makes SO MUCH SENSE. The build up is perfect.
There’s also absolutely nothing more platonic that he could SAY to Izuku to help him. That apology was beautiful, heartfelt, honest, vulnerable and yet, it wasn’t what Izuku wanted to hear. The problem wasn’t solved. His heart is still not calm. He is still not facing Katsuki. And we know for a fact the feelings are NOT negative.
So by the process of elimination, the literally only thing Katsuki can do to help Izuku now.. the ONLY thing left..is a romantic confession. Because actions and platonic words didn’t work. If anything they made it worse and pushed Izuku away even further. It has to happen. Katsuki did everything else and he’s still being built up for SOMETHING while Izuku keeps getting worse and worse.. and what we have now, is Izuku being reckless and selfish for Katsuki yet again…as explained in this post.
OH also.. I love how Ochako tries to talk to Izuku and he just goes “ EVERYONE tried to talk to me but HE just left home..”
Ochako being put under just “everyone” and the use of a “HE” for Katsuki instead of “Kacchan left home” for some reason makes it even more romantic..
Reminds me of chapter 318 and the “HE was the one who came” when Katsuki showed up to save Izuku.
For Izuku.. HE is the one and only. I swear this is so damn romantic..
